Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible and inclusive for everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that access to news and information should be available to all readers, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance.

We continuously work to improve the accessibility, usability, and overall user experience of our website in line with recognised accessibility standards and best practices.

Accessibility Features

To improve accessibility, we aim to:

• Use clear, readable fonts and consistent page layouts.
• Structure content with meaningful headings and logical navigation.
• Ensure sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds.
• Support keyboard navigation where practical.
• Provide descriptive alternative text for images where appropriate.
• Make links clear and meaningful.
• Design pages to work across a range of devices and screen sizes.
• Support modern web browsers and assistive technologies where reasonably possible.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and make improvements to enhance accessibility as technologies, standards, and user needs evolve.

Where practical, we aim to align our website with the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Third-Party Content

Some pages on our website may contain content or services provided by third parties, such as embedded videos, maps, social media posts, advertisements, or external links. While we encourage accessibility across all content, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party services that are outside our control.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the website may not yet fully meet accessibility expectations. We are committed to identifying and addressing these issues as part of our ongoing website development.
